How Does In-Context Learning Help Prompt Tuning?

2023 Feb
My name is Simeng Sun (孙思萌), I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science advised by Prof. Mohit Iyyer. My thesis is about "Understanding the Role of Context in Neural Language Models". I am broadly interested in language modeling, machine translation, and in general, text generation. In summer 2021 and 2022, I interned at FAIR Accel where I mainly worked on multilingual machine translation. In summer 2020, I did my internship at Adobe DIL, working on AI assisted writing. Before coming to UMass, I worked closely with Prof. Ani Nenkova while I was a master's student at UPenn.
